Introduction:
We can't all be millionaires. We can't all be billionaires. But we can all be successful. Success is not a destination, it's a journey and everyone has the potential to achieve it in their own way. But there are some common traits that successful people have in common that you can emulate to help you reach your goals. They have a clear idea of what success means to them. Success is very subjective and there are many ways for someone to define it for themselves. Success is about achieving your goals and meeting your ambitions. It's about making progress towards something you desire to be successful in your life, career, or any other aspect that truly means something to you personally.
The 5 keys to success are: 1) Taking Responsibility 2) Belief in Oneself 3) Setting Goals 4) Persistence 5) Being Decisive.
1. Taking Responsibility:
Successful people take responsibility for their successes and failures, accepting the good and bad of both. They are able to look back on mistakes made and learn from them, accept what happened, and move on to the next challenge with a positive attitude.
2. Belief in Oneself:
Successful people believe in themselves; they know what they're capable of and refuse to settle for less than their best. All that is a long winded way of saying successful people are self-aware, confident, and believe in themselves. They are aware of the things they need to work on such as their weaknesses and potential obstacles but they do not let this deter them from achieving what they want. One possible consequence of being self-aware is the need for self-criticism and a need to achieve one's goals.
3. Setting goals is the key to success.
- Always set goals that are achievable and measurable.
- Find a mentor or coach who can provide you with the necessary advice and feedback.
- Create a plan for your goals, including both short-term and long-term objectives.
- Be patient and stay focused on your goal - even if it takes time to accomplish it.
- Celebrate your successes along the way!
4. Persistence is the key to success because it will allow you to keep going when things are tough.
The 5 keys to success are:
-Being persistent
-Believing in yourself
-Knowing your goals and desires
-Believing in yourself

The decision-making process is a complicated one. There are so many factors to take into account when making a decision that it is easy to become overwhelmed and never make any decisions at all. The key to success is being decisive, which means taking the time to gather all of the information you need before making a decision.
1) Be realistic
2) Be informed
3) Be timely
4) Be thorough
5) Be flexible
What is the Definition of Success and How Do I Measure Myself against It?
Success is not just a one-dimensional concept. It is a subjective term and different people measure success in different ways. Some people want to be successful in their personal life while others want to be successful in their career. In order to measure your success, you need to define what it means for you. Is it about the money you make? Or is it about the time that you have for yourself? Once you have defined what success means for you, then it becomes easier for you to set goals and track your progress. .Success is not just a one-dimensional concept.

Success is a subjective term. It can be defined in many different ways. We all have different definitions of success and we are all trying to measure ourselves against these definitions.
Success has many different definitions, but it is often measured in terms of how much money someone has made or how many people they have influenced. There are some people who believe that success is measured by the number of hours you work or the amount of sweat you've put into your work.

What are the 8 Hallmarks of Highly Successful People?
Successful people are those who are able to find their own path and follow it. They don't follow the crowd, they set the standards for themselves.
Successful people don't just sit back and hope that success will come to them. They go out of their way to make it happen. They are always on the lookout for opportunities, they are proactive in their approach, they work hard and smart, they know how to prioritize tasks, they never give up and they always stay humble.
There is no simple recipe for success - but there is a list of
8 hallmarks that successful people have in common:
1. Successful people are effective communicators:
they have a clear message, they listen well and they speak articulately.
2. Successful people understand their own strengths and weaknesses:
each person has unique talents and skills that make them valuable to others, as well as limitations that need to be addressed before moving forward with their goals.
3. They have incredible persistence and Resilience:
Challenges and difficulties in life don’t really get them down for too long. When the going gets tough, that’s when they really pick up the chips and drive themselves even harder.
They don’t sit around moaning about how life is unfair to them, but see a way around the difficulties.
They turn the negative into the positive. They don’t shy away from negativity, but face it head on.
And, they don’t quit.
4. They have pretty insane focus:
Many of them have incredible laser-like focus on their dreams or goals. They know exactly what they want and they go after it. Yes, plans may derail, but they still find ways to get back on track.
They may have things they enjoy and indulge in. But those activities never become a distraction to their goals.
You definitely won’t see them procrastinating, sitting around getting distracted by their phones, Netflix, celeb gossip and what not.
5. They possess inner confidence:
Whilst they might have some doubts along the way, you will rarely meet a highly successful person who is low on self-esteem.
They won’t be hesitant to go after things neither will they waste their precious time doubting their capabilities.
They also don’t go around looking for approval from others or constantly compare themselves with others in order to feel bad about themselves.
They possess a high level of self-belief and self-efficacy and know what it takes to get to where they want to be.
6. They are voracious self-learners and initiators:
They don’t wait for a training program to drop on their table, or a mentor to appear or for people to volunteer to guide them.
They get out there, they talk to people, ask for advice, humble themselves and learn from the other experts.
Many of them I know have a hobby which is very much a skill that they have cultivated and learned to a very high level on their own. Be it languages, mountain-climbing, calligraphy.
7. They are hardworking:
I know that working smart is all the rage these days.
But the thing is, you only get to work smart, and “game the system” only after you’ve spent a good number of hours doing what you need to do.
This is especially so at the beginning. You have to be willing to spend a substantial amount of time, figuring things out and doing the hours.
Nobody becomes an expert just like that.
Highly successful people understand this and you’d find that many of them started off putting in an incredible amount of hours working on their goals.
They don’t shy away from hard work.
8. They are self-disciplined:
They stick to a schedule. They have healthy habits they indulge in regularly. Many of them are also very punctual people.
Whilst a lot of us retire to our couches and Netflix after work and even on weekends (and hey nothing wrong with that at all). But these people, come rain or shine, fatigue, lousy day at work etc are out there running, reading or doing whatever they need to.
Although they might not enjoy doing it all the time. They know that certain things are necessary in order to see success.
They set their minds to it and they go through with it, regardless of feelings or external circumstances.
And those are just some of the key things that set the really successful people apart from the rest of us.
What really made me excited is that these are attitudes which we can train ourselves to possess. The only question that remains is, are we willing to?
